Date idea: Around the world in 80 days

I was walking up the first of my three flights of stairs when it happened... a really, very good, fun idea! Wanna know what it is? Doya doya doya? Ok, please. stop. don't beg. I will just tell you.
Remember this movie.

Of course you don't. Unless you are a Jacki Fan or a goofy-no-real-plot-movie fan. Which I am of course. :)

So for the next eightydays forty dates, (80 is like two years almost and a little long) I will be featuring a date from around the world. The top 40 of 2011 actually. Yup, I am. I am doing and there is no stopping me. Every weekend (or about there) we will have a "themed date" revolving another country. Oh, you want to come to? You want to spice of your not always fun date nights? We must be twins. For more ideas, be sure to check out these two bloggers here and here. Because they sorta rock.
In fact, I will wait right here until you go check them out. Go ahead, I will wait....
........still waiting.......
Good, you are back. What did you think? I know right!!
Well you can get your first "stop" outta the way by going to (drumroll please)

Anyhoo... now that we have formalities outta the way, come on in! Have a seat! Can I get you some lemonade? How about some TIM TAMS? Or Milo? Or whatever else you drink in the land down undah' 'cause I know you want to go there. Or go back. And here is your chance. You are welcome.

It started with this little invite the night before. Don't fret my friends. I made it cute with leftover scrap paper

How are we traveling in style to Australia (well our TX version)

in my car. But did you catch that I AM DRIVING. Its kinda a big deal bc boys generally drive in my relationship.

Our first stop was the zoo. Since down undah' there are loads of animals I thought we would go on a scavenger hunt for all sorts of animals. I found animals from Australia that would also be at our zoo. I laminated the paper and each person had a dry erase marker to check off what animals they saw.

(If you wanted this to be really cheap you could find animals at the library or bookstore)

{and here is where I 'ess-plain that I have managed to loose the scavenger chart in just 4 days so you will have to use your imagine chit-lins. Losing things, well, that happens quite a lot around me. Marbles???? }
